Reviews of Masonic Home Of New Jersey | Nursing Home

I am a friend or relative of resident

over all a good facility but new food service is poor and no snack are available in the dining area as there was in the past coffee and tea are only available during meals. Often the medical units are short. Staffed at times 43 patients to 1 nurse and 3 cnas for 43 patients. There are residents that never get out if bed at their choosing and no encouragement is given to get up. Alot of new and unexperienced nurses on staff.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. When I purchased my grandfather's house from him, the staff helped to set up meetings with banks and such so that he wouldn't have to travel outside of the building. Whenever I have been present they have been accommodating in terms of rescheduling their rounds to allow us time to visit.The one thing I wish they would do is upgrade their facilities. It is hard for me to tell as just a visitor, but the building seems to be in need of some modern technological upgrades. Overall, I would recommend this facility to anyone looking for a home in the area.

I visited this facility

The Masonic Home was clean, decorated very nicely, the staff was friendly and very informative. They have assisted living, alzheimers unit, medical unit and is a regular nursing home. I went there with my sister who has early onset alzheimers & we were both very pleased and will definetely consider having my sister go there when the time comes.

The Masonic Home of New Jersey is an amazing assisted living facility. My grandmother has been there for the past year and a half and she surprisingly loves it. The staff there are probably some of the absolute most friendly people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. There is a great balance of male and female staff which is great for my grandmother as she enjoys constantly interacting with both. The staff is always very professional, courteous and willing to help out. During most of my experiences dealing with assisted living facilities often I'm stuck dealing with people who seem like they hate there job or hate being around the elderly. But that most certainly is not the case here. A lot of the staff even volunteers and does there work completely unpaid. The rooms are another huge perk at the Masonic Home. Each and every room looks great. My grandmothers room has a flatscreen television so she can watch all of her television shows. She has her own telephone in the room so we can call her direct whenever we need to or she can call us. It also came equipped with internet access (although we had to provide her with the lap-top). The decor in there is great and the general environment is amazing. I would say that the part we love most about this place is that my grandmother still gets to go to church. She hasn't missed a day of church since she was a child and being here allows her to still do that. They offer a different type of worship service everyday and she absolutely loves that! There is also various activities for her to always participate in so she is constantly busy. Putting my grandmother into an assisted living facility was one of the hardest things I ever had to do but The Masonic Home of New Jersey honestly made it that much easier.

I am no stranger to assisted living homes. Having had a few relatives who have lived and died in them over the last few years. I've been to a few but I must say, the Masonic Home of New Jersey is by far one of the best. Of course what I look at first is the staff of any facility. This is my Aunt we are talking about; I need to know she is in good hands. I need to be able to trust a staff. Another thing I endure about this place is right now I am writing this from my Aunt's room as she sleeps. She is in her final days and the facility has allowed me to spend most of my nights with her. Their meals are three times a day and sharp as a knife. A lights out is enforced after 10 but also residents are permitted to sit up and read. Truly this is one of the better homes in New Jersey.

The experience we had while my father was a resident of the Masonic home was amazing. From the moment he arrived, we knew he would be in safe hands. The facility's common areas are wonderfully maintained and are incredibly clean. The staff are never adverse to surprise visits, in fact they welcome them. I have watched the staff interact with many patients and they are caring and patient regardless of the health isssues of that individual. They seem to be incredibly knowledgable. I was struck by the fact that they also seemed to be very willing to explain and discuss any concerns or issues that we had. They helped not only my dad, but the entire family with the transition and allowed my father to still maintain some level of independence. He was never treated like a child , but respected for his age and wisdom. I can not say enough about the level of respect that I have for this wonderful facility and their phenomenal staff.
